Helping a MySQLer

If you follow the MySQL world, you have probably heard of the plight of Andrii Nikitin and his son Ivan. But for those in the PHP world who may not have, I ask you to please help.

Andrii Nikitin is a MySQL support engineer in the Ukraine and his son desperately needs a bone marrow transplant operation. Unfortunately where he is, they do not have the facilities to handle it – so he must go outside his country to get Ivan the medical help he needs. This, of course, will be very expensive. Estimated costs are 150000 – 250000 EUR.

MySQL and all of it’s employees are working to help Andrii raise the money he needs. Many of us (myself included) have given money to help him. Will you join us? If every person that has used MySQL over the years gave just a single dollar to help Andrii, he would have the money to get Ivan the medical treatment he needs to survive.
